    • While visiting relatives, Davey Crocket slept under a tree which is located on Clarksville Street. He wrote in a letter to his wife that he had "found Paradise" and intended to relocated his family to this area. Unfortunately, he was then sent to the Alamo, where he lost his life fighting for Texas' independence.

    • The movie "Paris, Texas" was banned in the city of Paris, Texas shortly after its box office release in 1984. I'm not really sure why. The film itself was filmed in Waxahachie not Paris. The movie was the Winner of the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1984 and tells the haunting story of an amnesiac's struggle to rebuild his shattered life. Sam Shepard wrote the screenplay. Paris Texas was put on the map.

     Yes, Paris from a Texan dimension. I was very curious going through this page. Very entertaining.    		bugalugs Sun Nov 13, 2005 21:09 UTC
     An interesting page, and as for Jesus wearing cowboy boots, I dont think he would mind for a minute, he would probably have said 'when in Rome.... or Paris as the case may be' :-)

     I grew up just down the road from Paris, Texas, and enjoyed visiting your pages. Now, I'm homesick!    		Stephen-KarenConn Tue Jul 12, 2005 14:48 UTC
     A fascinating look at the home town of one of my old teen-age girlfriends. And I didn't know before now that Jesus wore cowboy boots - but that doesn't surprise me.
